D
Memories and drinks don't mix too well
D G E7
And jukebox records don't play those wedding bells
A
Lookin' at the world through the bottom of a glass
A D A
All I see is a man who's fading fast
D
Tonight I need that woman again
D G E7
What I'd give for my baby to just walk in
A
Sit down beside me and say it's alright
A D A7
Take me home and make sweet love to me tonight
[Chorus]
D F#7 G E7
But here I am again, mixin' misery and gin
G A D
Sittin' with all my friends and talkin' to myself
G F#7 Bm Bm/A G
I look like I'm havin' a good time but any fo-o-o-o-l can tell
D G A D A
That this honky tonk Heaven really makes you f-e-e-l like hell
D
I light a lonely womans cigarette
D G E7
And we start talkin' 'bout what we want to forget
A
Her life story and mine are the same
A D A7
We both lost someone and only have ourselves to blame
[Chorus]
